WHISTLE (휘파람 hwipalam) is a song recorded by South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. It is the first and title track from their debut digital single album SQUARE ONE.

Compositions[]

The introduction is centered around a unique synth sound and features impressive rhythmic rapping. It is an EDM song (crossover) that combines dancehall and electronic house, which are the current popular genres sweeping the US Billboard. The powerful and energetic chorus drop part gives a twist to the song's key by changing the key, and it is filled with strong drum beats and unique synth sounds. The boombayah hook that shouts "oppa" is easy on the ears and makes the song even more exciting. The lyrics express a confident and charismatic me, and I want to forget everything and dance with you today.
